Variable modes,pioneered by Chou Wen-chung,represent a novel modal system characterized by its innovative and inclusive structural design.These modes have not only assumed a central role in Chou's compositional strategy but have also become a foundational element across his body of work.This paper delves into'Pien',a seminal piece emblematic of Chou's mid-career compositions,to dissect the ways in which variable modes facilitate the formation of a composer's distinctive creative identity.By examining'Pien',the study aims to shed light on the contribution of variable modes to the diversification and evolution of modern Chinese composition,offering a theoretical foundation for future compositional exploration.
